Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 14583

Received: 21/03/2021

Respondent: David Attia

Representation Summary:

Loss of Green Belt land and building on Greenfield sites with the adverse effect on the local environment - both flora and fauna
Creating urban sprawl and spreading the village into a huge housing development, reducing the village community.
Increasing traffic flow to an already congested village which can barely cope with the current number of cars. An increase in noise, congestion, pollution and the risk of accidents to children and the elderly are real and concerning issues.
Squeezing housing developments into green spaces that local families use for exercise and fresh air in a safe environment is not the solution to the housing shortage.
Addingham is a desirable place to live and house prices are above average. It is unlikely that low-cost affordable housing will be available for young people. Recent developments have not resulted in affordable housing, more properties in access of £500.000 only line the pockets of builders and developers.
